mir weighted vest review

It is time for you to meet:

the MIR® PRO.

What makes this gear stand out amongst other vests:

Fully functional weights can be packed all the way up to 140lbs for maximum strength and endurance training.

Fully adjustable, multi-strap system for full body contour: the vest wont slide around, the straps don’t poke out the side getting in your way, straps stay locked in place so that there is never a need to re-adjust.

Never any bouncing on chest or neck due to ingeniously placed mid-chest belt.

Dual layer design with the top maxing out at 55lbs and bottom at 85lbs.

Reinforced padding to make sure weights wont pull down on neck, preventing soreness of the traps.

The science behind circuittraining & how the features of the MIR® PRO will help you smash through your goals.

To build a body capable of being at peak physical performance while in the Arena, we must train to achieve:

Maximum hypertrophy in all muscle cells.

Development of the central nervous system for better muscular coordination.

Maximal development of our oxygen transport system and cardiovascular system that help feed muscles.

Seamless ATP production in our muscle cells.

These exercises just examples, you should to such exercises which are the most similar to the movements you mostly do in a fight.

If a round in your sport is let’s say 3 minutes, than you should do one circuit 3 minutes long and you should do the exact amount of circuits, as many rounds you have on a competition. Just Because you need to do the same on the training as on the competition.

You need to have the exact amount of rest between the circuts as in comptetion between the rounds.

Once you can do the circut without more rest than on a competition and you can do the same amount of circuts as rounds on your competition, just using your bodyweight, then it is time to strap on the weighted vest to complete the same amount of circuits with the same amount of rest in the same amount. Now with resistance, you can truly take your training to a more powerful level.

These exercises may be simple, but the movements model what an athlete needs to be doing to win a fight. By adding resistance to every jump, punch, push and pull will increase power and stamina past where bodyweight exercises can. An opponent may not fall after 100 weak punches, but after one devastating blow…anyone will crumble.

Make sure to always think about the movements you do in a competition and do exactly the same movements during the training -as your exercises- just against just with the weighted vest. Furthermore make sure from training to training elevate the resistance with filling up the pockets of the west with its weights.

Each workout you can add 3lbs, or even 5 lbs. This is what the MIR® PRO does for you, it allows for you to upgrade the resistance of any movement/exercise you do in a fight gradual resistance added in time. Barbells, single weights, machinces doesn’t allow you this but the MIR® PRO is constructed exactly for this.

mir MiR Weighted Vest: How to put the straps on

Personally, I am not very good at these reviews, so I am going to be brief and to the point.
This is truly a top-notch item. The nylon construction is extremely durable, as are the velcro straps. It has been made extremely well and is easily adjustable. The weight distribution is properly balanced between the front and back compartments. Once strapped on it allows very fluid range of motion, though, do consider that you have 140 additional pounds strapped on, so you will lose some mobility. The shipping is a bit steep, but that is expected for 140 lbs. I highly recommend this item to anyone who want to increase strength training. This item is easily well worth the cost, in my opinion.

I've been using the vest for a few weeks and it has been nothing short of phenomenal. I use it everyday for running and strength training.

This is a great way to do squats and calf raises when you don't have a full barbell set.
The product arrived in 3 separate boxes within a couple of days of my order. The quality appears to be top-notch and should hold up very well.
It's very easy to put the vest on and off except when it's fully loaded. I'll need to build up a little more upper body strength for that.
The only reason it didn't get 5 stars is because of the shipping cost. The cost of the product itself is reasonable but shipping 140 pounds adds significant expense.

This vest was shipped in three boxes because of it's immense amount of weight among the three boxes. Holding up to 140 pounds, this monster of a vest is more than enough weight for the average person even at 90 pounds on! You can do many workouts that target the legs such as squats, calf raises, anything that would apply exploding yourself forward with weight on. Also works to just lift this durable vest as the material is strong and will hold up when setting all of the straps and Velcro on it. Can do push ups, anything really there are so many more exercises to name for this item that are compatible. The ONLY thing about this vest that may be a setback is that the padding on your shoulders alone was not enough for myself with heavy amounts of weight (90+ lbs), I preferred to put material in between the vest straps and my shoulders when applying 90 pounds or more. Otherwise this is a revolution in the way people can workout and it works! Thank you MiR!

I love this vest. It has helped me to build muscles and to firm up. I use up to 50lbs so far but it is good to know that as I get stronger I can increase it at my own pace. Or if I am not up to using it at 50lbs I can decrease it.
It is hard to get the weights out, it takes some creativity. But it is possible. The problem I have with the vest which is why I only gave it a 4 rating is that it digs into your shoulders which after a period of time can be painful. I have made my own pads to go under the vest to reduce the cutting in effect but it is still painful if you walk around or jog with if for 1-2 hours.
If you have wider shoulders it should be fine but I don't so it digs in right on the nerve. Also it is rather pricey. If you can find it cheaper go for it! If several people in the household do weight training then it is versatile for everyone to use at their own ideal weight level. Just not at the same time.
I recommend this vest but but it may cause pain in the shoulders and by the neck if used for long periods of time without padding to help reduce the effect!
